Balkh (The Old City) regular by Afghan Selection
Balkh, also called Vazīrābād, village in northern Afghanistan that was formerly Bactra, the capital of ancient Bactria.
The modern village of Balkh is situated amid extensive ruins, chief among them the outer walls of ancient Bactra, which are more than 7 miles (11 km) in circumference. Other remains of Balkh’s splendour include ancient Buddhist reliquary mounds and later Islamic shrines and mosques. The shrine of Khvājeh Abū Naṣr Pārsā is a remnant of its historic past.
The seeds of this local heritage contain 5-6 different genotypes. Balkh plants vary from short to tall, with large and wide leaves, to some that are narrower. Balkh grows both tall and short and often displays shades of dark green, red and black.
The aroma is very complex but is known to be dominated by rotten fruit and skunk with some influence of soil and nuts. Hash is very soothing and relaxing in nature and is considered the best medicine in Afghanistan
